Common questions

What score means I should think about HRT?

A score of 9 to 15 is moderate and 16 or more is severe. That's usually when symptoms are getting in the way of daily life, and when HRT tends to help the most. Expert guidelines say that for most healthy women under 60, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. A doctor makes the final call with you.

Is this quiz a medical diagnosis?

No. It measures how strong your symptoms are, not what is causing them. It's a great way to start a conversation with a doctor, but it doesn't replace one.

Where do these questions come from?

They are the 11 questions of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), a symptom checklist doctors and researchers have used around the world since 1996. We rewrote them in everyday words. The scoring is the same as the original.

Are my answers stored anywhere?

Your answers stay on your device. They're saved in your browser so you can come back to them, but they are never sent to ClearedRx or anyone else.

Can I share my score with my doctor?

Yes. When you finish, tap "Print my result" to print it or save it as a PDF. It works for an OB-GYN visit, a regular checkup, or an online visit.

Sources & how this score works

For educational use only. This quiz tracks how strong your symptoms are. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace a visit with a licensed doctor.

The 11 questions are the standard Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) items, written in plain English. Each answer scores 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely), for a total of 0 to 44. Subscores: body (items 1-4, max 16), mood & mind (items 5-8, max 16), sex & bladder (items 9-11, max 12). Severity levels follow the MRS validation literature: 0-4 very mild, 5-8 mild, 9-15 moderate, 16+ severe. Treatment notes reflect the 2022 NAMS Hormone Therapy Position Statement.
